DEAD CONGREGATION was total war, constant buldgeoning. The new song is very promising indeed, pity the bass swallowed most of the guitars impact during their set.

2 new songs they played. the first one was total annihilating death metal assault...the second one, I have to listen again because it's ok but structured on a more slow tempo. BTW DC one of the best concerts of the weekend!!! VOMITCHRIST!

You're right I wasnt sure they had played 2 new songs but they have indeed. The slow doomy one made a real strong impression. Heaviest and slowest DC song for sure! Not sure I want to listen to it again on shitty YouTube until the new record is out.

@JB: Antaeus laugheable? You nuts? If you dont like raw BM ok i get it but otherwise... They delivered an amazing performance. Tight as fuck (great drummer and guitarists) with all Aosoth's staff delivering , and more powerful than ever. MkM's attitude would piss off many for sure and that´s the point.
"Ici c'est Paris" was, he told me, to show foreign bands how we do things ´round here. Funny how French people from the rest of France can't help but yacking their hate/disdain towards Paris and Parisians ha.

Also the short, straight to the point sober tribute to LSK was great.
Endin their set with "Blood Libels" was absolutely perfekt_________________DISJECTA MEMBRAE plays Vomitive Doom

Great fucking festival! Excellent organisation and some of the best live sound (for all the bands) I've heard at any fest or concert!
Necroblood: Pretty cool, didn't see their entire set.

Ritualization: Really impressed me! Bought a shirt.

Voids Of Vomit: Great fucking death metal! I remember drinking with them the second day, they, and this incredibly drunk italian guy (though they weren't exactly sober either) who introduced me to them, kept saying I looked like Mick Harris, got me to "play drums" on a trash can and pretty much poured beer down my throat.

Excellent festival ! All hails to the Wolfthrone productions and La Clef ! The timing was really perfect, all the people involved had the smile, the security was like inexistant which is a good thing !
Well played !

About the music :

RITUALIZATION : Totally killer as always with them ! The fastest band on the bill and also one of the more Evil in their sound ! The best DEATH METAL band in France these days I think. First day Highlight with >
INTERMENT : Aaargh ! Their d-beat Death Metal made me nuts ! Total energy ! Just excellent !
KRYPTS : Don't expect anything from them but their show was really good ! Brutal yet cryptic ! And what a fuckin singer, the finnish way !!!
DESTROYER 666 : Really pleasant to finish with a band full of good old metal riffs ! The Black Magic cover was crazy !
------
CONVULSE : Already saw them 2 days before and the same result : Better on stage but their sound is not my cup of tea.
CADAVERIC FUMES : Too much "HM2 sunlight"... But for a demo band, it's not bad.
DISMA : The best sound of the whole festival ! Totally crushing and HEAVY but they are really boring in my opinion! Lack of obscurity and evil!
VENENUM : A brilliant show full of sorcery, magic and evil ! Highligh of the day, simple as that !
DEAD CONGREGATION : Nothing can surpass these Greeks, nothing ! DEATH Metal bulldozer in action ! 2 excellent new tracks ! Killer as always !
TEMPLE OF BAAL : The trio was on fire, really, but the sound was catastrophic! A shame considering how their music is fine and good ! But thumps up for the presence on the stage !
ANTAEUS : "Ici c'est Paris" > please shut up and play your boring music guys...
PROCLAMATION : Funny 2 or 3 songs...
DEMIGOD : Impressive but I was fuckin' tired...

Really good festival with the best sound I've heard with these kind of bands...

Also really like the Moyen exhibition! That was a good idea !
The "Metal market" was really disapointing... Who cares about Season of Mist and big german distro ?

Disma: Fucking crushed! Sadly I was at the peak of my hangover from the first day and fell asleep at one point during their set.

Some guy next to me was sleeping during their set as well, haha. Were you sitting in the stairs and wearing studded gloves?

I was on the the stairs but I wasn't wearing studded gloves. I was wearing a leather jacket with a grey denim vest over it with a Vomitor backpatch.
Glad to hear I wasn't the only person who missed a bit of their (awesome) set due to lack of sleep and too much drinking! _________________
